Hello BP Real Estate Attorneys, Tax Professionals, Attorneys,What is the best "tax-optimized" asset protection strategy for a California resident who owns several rental properties in Ohio, Florida and Georgia (and does not own any California property)?

Seems a little unclear what you're optimizing for, but I don't think selling is a terrible idea based on your hesitations about the future of your local market

You don't look like a baby-faced 22-year-old, so I would say that she has a reason to think that your optimism is too high. 

I can recommend ”Optimize your Airbnb” by Daniel RusteenReally good book with lots of great tips about short-term rentals.

Glad you kept the main menu nice and simple where as the banks I used switched to fancy graphical interfaces with constant glitches causing me headaches. 

I will appreciate your thoughts on what would be an optimal time to sell given I have some capacity to wait.I will appreciate your inputs Thanks

Your cash on cash will probably not look very impressive because you're using so little leverage now.To optimize use of your equity, you'd likely want to either sell that house or pull the equity out since that cash could be leveraged to buy something.  

Do you use any software to optimize driving by multiple properties?

No more managing tenants, vacancies, maintenance and the managing the manager (who is a $12-20 dollar employee who's compensation structure us not aligned with your goals) By passing the control of the day to day operations to true experts who are literally partners (direct alignment of compensation and motivations), you can assure the investment is being optimized while you spend your time on what you want which is 1) making more money at your day job, 2) spending time with your family or 3) finding that one off deal that you want to do one your own while pairing with a Limited Partner strategy. 2.

The irony of the investment strategy of the average American – including those who meet the definition of an accredited investor – is that the bias toward optimizing for the downstroke and safety robs one from the benefits of individual growth and setting the stage for their future self.
